Tu viens chanter malgré l'orage
You come to sing despite the storm
À ce balcon qui reste sourd
To this balcony which remains deaf
Mais ton amie est en voyage
But your friend is traveling
Pauvre swing troubadour
Poor swing troubadour
Elle est partie, changement d'adresse
She left, change of address
Et j'ai repris l'appartement
And I took back the apartment
Et c'est à moi que tu t'adresses
And it's me you're talking to
Tu n'as pas d'chance vraiment
You really don't have a chance
Swing troubadour
Swing troubadour
Ton destin, swing troubadour
Your destiny, swing troubadour
C'est d'chanter le bonheur
It's about singing happiness
Même si ton p'tit cœur est bien lourd
Even if your little heart is very heavy
Swing troubadour
Swing troubadour
Rien pour toi n'peut effacer
Nothing for you can erase
Les beaux jours du passé
The beautiful days of the past
Même si dans ta voix y a d'la joie
Even if there is joy in your voice
Quand tu souris
When you smile
Tout comme toi je pleure en secret
Just like you I cry in secret
Un rêve chéri
A cherished dream
Un amour timide et discret
A shy and discreet love
Moi j'n'ai plus rien
I have nothing left
Mais comme toi j'chante pour mon bien
But like you I sing for my own good
La plus belle des chansons d'amour
The most beautiful love song
Swing troubadour
Swing troubadour
Tout est fini, plus de promenades
It's all over, no more walks
Plus de printemps swing troubadour
More spring swing troubadour
Elle est finie ta sérénade
Your serenade is over
Tu vas quitter l'faubourg
You are going to leave the suburb
Comme j'ai quitté, jadis, moi-même
As I once left myself
Le vieux quartier triste et charmant
The sad and charming old neighborhood
De mes amours un peu bohèmes
Of my somewhat bohemian loves
Qui changeaient trop d'logement
Who changed their accommodation too much
swing troubadour
swing troubadour
Ton destin, swing troubadour
Your destiny, swing troubadour
C'est d'chanter le bonheur
It's about singing happiness
Même si ton p'tit cœur est bien lourd
Even if your little heart is very heavy
Swing, swing troubadour
Swing, troubadour swing
T'en fais pas, les beaux jours passés
Don't worry, the good old days
Reviendront simplement un beau soir et sans même y penser
Will simply come back one fine evening and without even thinking about it
Pleure pas mon vieux
Don't cry old man
Tu vivras et tu verras mieux
You will live and you will see better
Tous les p'tits cœurs
All the little hearts
Qui s'donnent sur la route du bonheur
Who set out on the road to happiness
Moi j'n'ai plus rien
I have nothing left
Mais tant pis, chantons pleins d'entrain
But too bad, let's sing with enthusiasm
La plus belle des chansons d'amour
The most beautiful love song
Swing troubadour
Swing troubadour
Swing, allez, swing, allez, chante!
Swing, go, swing, go, sing!
swing troubadour!
swing troubadour!
